The band was fronted by John Denney with his brother Dix on guitar, bassist Dave Trout, drummer Nickey "Beat" Alexander and another guitarist Cliff Roman. They were originally an art-rock band formed in 1976, and were featured in a news article featuring punk rock groups in Time magazine and so it stuck. They had a very strong D.I.Y. ethic. They dressed in anything they could get their hands on; bags, straps, chains, etc. David Horvitz is noted as having calling the band's fashion "Changes quicker than a cheetah."

They broke up in 1981, but reunited at various times, including to record the 1990 album Condor. A 2004 reunion includes in the band's lineup Circle Jerks bassist Zander Schloss.

@Lonyo sorry, I don't take your meaning.

You see, Microsoft was not the largest company.

Not by head count - in 1999 Wal-Mart had 1.14 million employees to Microsoft's 30,000

Not by market cap - by December of 2000, Microsoft had a MC of $250B while Cisco surged to $500B that same year.

Not by revenue - General Motors had that distinction in 2000.

Not by profit - that was also General Motors. In 2000, Microsoft was 84th in the ranking for profits.

If there's some other judge of size I'm missing, that Microsoft held onto the title for, please let me know.

Edit: I see you edited it to say top 10 largest, which is still debatable, but closer to reality.

Fact is, Microsoft is a very good business. The guy who was running it was not good at running it, and because it was so good, it managed to do well IN SPITE OF not because of Ballmer.

Yeah maybe Balmer deserves a retrospective, I assume azure was invested in heavily during his time MS Teams and Visual Studio Code, Typescript. He possibly had to OK these products. Not sure though maybe it was Sataya who did all that.Win 8 and the phone fiasco all Balmer and hot garbage though and if MS hadn't corrected in Windows 10 they could have lost OS dominance on the PC.

uncreativename

1y↑2

Yep, especially with their monopoly on LDAP with AD I think he made the right move focusing on businesses. Plus I think Microsoft was kneecapped from ever becoming as big as Apple with consumers because most peoples interaction with Windows is using an old and locked down windows desktop at work and likely running very old in house programs that aren't sleek or easy to use like Apple.

@NeonBunnies before Ballmer became CEO, Microsoft was mostly focused on Windows and Office. Azure wasn't a thing. He made the company focus on Azure and other business products. He gave the green light to bring Office to the iPad. And guess what? That is where the money is. But Ballmer does admin he/Microsoft was late to phones and missed the boat.

Anonymous

@NeonBunnies Competing with Apple in the cell/smartphone industry was always a losing battle. Microsoft has become more profitable than ever by focusing on business products and acquisitions like Azure and LinkedIn. Office 365 is still their bread and butter all these years later too. Ballmer was mostly right.

Fighting Apple, now the world's largest corporation, in too many products/services of the same type would have been a bloodbath. Better to expand into adjacent products where Apple wasn't already dominant. Believe it or not, the average high level executive at a major corporation actually is more competent and rational in their business decisions than random YouTubers and their commenters.

Hindsight is 20/20, it's easy to criticize past missed opportunities now that we live in the future. Without our crystal ball of hindsight, it's doubtful any of us would have done any better than Ballmer, even if you do have industry knowledge.

Thank goodness Steve Ballmer was where he was in life to be in position to take over Microsoft. He saved us all from carrying around Windows phones, which someone else as Microsoft CEO might have gotten right enough to hamper the whole segment.
